Chapter 15
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they arrived back in Hogsmeade they broke off into pairs for their first alone time with their respective spouses. Hermione pulled Draco towards Tomes and Scrolls intent on her favorite activity. Ron and Mille left toward the Castle for a leisurely walk. Pansy insisted on a Butterbeer hauling Harry towards the The three Broomsticks, leaving Ginny And Blaise awkwardly standing in the middle of Hogsmead.
Blaise held out his hand palm up towards Ginny in hopes she would allow him to hold her hand as they walked. Tentatively Ginny brought her hand up and let it twine in his. Happy with this small step in the right direction he looked down at her and asked.
"Where would you like to go? We have a few hours so I could take you on a proper Date." Blaise offered.
Ginny blinked up at him stunned but shook her head and replied.
"My feet hurt. I'd kinda just like to go back to the room, get a hot bath and veg for a while, maybe get some snacks from the kitchen. I have to write to Mum about your mum's offer. I would like to see if aunty Mariel would allow me to use the tiara."She shrugged.
"Right home it is." He replied, turning towards the castle to begin the trudge up the winding path. Walking with her up towards the castle.
-----------------------
Ginny was a bit stunned as the tall man settled her on the sofa after he bath, he tucked a blanket round her curled legs. A house elf was laying both salty and sweet snacks on the table warm apple cider and cold Butterbeer included. She watched as Blaise crossed to the Wireless unit and turned on the Soft instrumental station.
“Anything else I can get you a book?” Blaise asked, turning from the Wireless to look at her.
“If you wouldn’t mind there is a paperback book on my bedside table if you could bring that please.” Ginny asked softly. Without a word he gathered the book and handed it to her and left her alone smuggled in the sofa of their room. Ginny Blinked as the room door closed; he had left her to relax alone, respecting her privacy; it was not something that she expected.
He had been quite courteous towards her allowing her to remain quiet since their moving into the room. He did not blame or curse her or even berate her for her behavior, just let her act as she wanted. She had judged Blaise to be just like Dean even though he had been the one to rescue her from Dean. She hated herself at the moment, hated what Dean had done and hated her reaction to things. Ginny knew she was unwell Hermione said so herself and Ginny trusted when Her best Girlfriend said something it was true.
Ginny needed to make it up to Blaise who was to be her husband after all and had never done anything but help her. She would be a Mum in a just a years time she could not fail her Children, that though had her wonder what their children would look like would they take after Blaise with his dark hair,dark eyes,and tanned skin, Or would they look like her pale and redhead like her family, or would they have a mix.
She Snuggled deeply into the sofa pulling the blanket up further when there was a Knock followed by a call.
“Ginny, it's Millie, can I come in?” The Soft voice of her sister in law's voice.
“It's Open please join me.” Ginny yelled back and her sister In law joined her, shutting the door behind her. Millie sat on the sofa with her with a Smile.
“Ron and I ran into Blaise. He said you were resting and that he was going to get some massage cream from Madam Pomfrey for your sore feet. Are you ok?” Millie asked.
“Yeah, just trying on heels and walking all day. I'll need to break in the Heels before the Yule ball but nothing abnormal. Thank you for worrying about me, and thank you and Pansy for getting me to approach Blaise. I've been rather awful to him and he's so gentle around me.” Ginny blushed very uncomfortable with being wrong.
“Good if He wasn't being Gentile to you I would have written to the Countess and had her come knock sense into him.” Milie Laughed.
“The Countess?” Ginny asked.
“Oh my yes Bliase’s Mum, Narcissia once said that the woman could be a countess with how hoity toity she could be that we girls started to call her that. I’m sure she’ll allow you to call her Zara though Her name is rather hard to pronounce, Azarazisa is a really unique name honestly but she hates it and preferred Zara and Countess even. She’s quite a lovely Lady despite what everyone says about her she just has awful luck with Men. I’m sure you’ll find her your best ally, she loves Blaise she does but wanted a girl and she's never been able to have one so.” Millie replied and Ginny nodded pleased to finally hear about the Woman she would soon be in law to.
They sat quite happily chit chatting about nonsense and the upcoming weddings, Blaise returned to the room and knelt by Ginny gently taking her feet and rubbing them with the Cream he pulled from his pocket before he knelt. Ginny melted into his hands with a small groan Mille laughed and left them.
Gently Blaise rubbed Ginny’s feet soothing all the aches from the day Ginny could not help the soft moans that left her mouth as Blaise rubbed.
“There better?” Blaise nodded, tucking her feet back under the Blanket.
“Yes Thank you but you did not have to rub my Feet.” Ginny blushed.
“You are my Fiance Ginny, your care and health are my priority, I know there is no love between us yet I hope that changes one day. I hope you can come to love me, and I you and that we can give our children all the love they deserve. I am not the best at relationships. I've tended to avoid them, the rumors about mom Being a black widow and all. I hope that you know that you can come to me. I will be there for you as a partner. I will always do my best by you.” Blaise replied softly.
“Thank you, that reassures me alot. I know I have been very cut off and I am struggling with other things than just the Marriage law and I’m sorry for not speaking to you sooner.” Ginny sighed, drawing her knees to her chest.
“It's understandable really. I don't expect to be close right away, But I want us to try together.” Blaise smiled.
“I Like that.” Ginny smiled back.
They did not talk much after that happy to leave it at that for the moment it was all either of them could ask for.
